Operating Systems Solaris Changing only time zone file not the timezone without reboot Post 302943642 by rbatte1 on Monday 11th of May 2015 11:50:02 AM

My concern would be that you might have the time being written as each process perceives it and there could be a mismatch, eg.
Code:
12:34:56  Event good
12:34:59  Event good
12:35:02  Event good
11:35:02  Event unexpected
12:35:03  Event good

If you have a busy and common application log, this could make quite a mess. An alternate worry might be if an application does it's own logging within a database. We have to switch of NTP for one of these when it kept complaining that the clock had moved back.

Not that these are necessarily a problem in your case, just something to consider. I must say I'm left to wonder why you would want to make such a change without a boot? Is it so hard to find a window to boot in?


Kind regards,
Robin

NAME
dat_evd_resize - modify the size of the event queue of Event Dispatcher SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ] #include <dat/udat.h> DAT_RETURN dat_evd_resize( IN DAT_EVD_HANDLE evd_handle, IN DAT_COUNT evd_min_qlen ) PARAMETERS
evd_handle Handle for an instance of Event Dispatcher. evd_min_qlen New number of events the Event Dispatcher event queue must hold. DESCRIPTION
The dat_evd_resize() function modifies the size of the event queue of Event Dispatcher. Resizing of Event Dispatcher event queue should not cause any incoming or current events on the event queue to be lost. If the number of entries on the event queue is larger then the requested evd_min_qlen, the operation can return DAT_INVALID_STATE and not change an instance of Event Dispatcher RETURN VALUES
DAT_SUCCESS The operation was successful. DAT_INVALID_HANDLE The evd_handle parameter is invalid. DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER The evd_min_qlen parameter is invalid DAT_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES The operation failed due to resource limitations DAT_INVALID_STATE Invalid parameter. The number of entries on the event queue of the Event Dispatcher exceeds the requested event queue length. USAGE
This operation is useful when the potential number of events that could be placed on the event queue changes dynamically. ATTRIBUTES
